ZIP code 85213 has nine schools: six elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school, with results reported mainly for 2025–26. Across the five elementary schools with reported scores, averages are 54% in ELA and 52% in math, compared with state results of 41% and 33%. But school results vary widely—from 32% to 63% in ELA and 27% to 65% in math—so the most important finding is that families will see very different academic profiles depending on the school they consider.

SchoolDigger rankings improved on average by 3 percentile points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, but movement varied: Poston rose 15 points and Field 8, while Hermosa Vista fell 6. Current rankings range from Hale at the 87th percentile and Ishikawa at the 84th to Field at the 34th; ranking changes are not a measure of proficiency change. The middle schools have nearly identical student-teacher ratios—19.4 at Stapley and 19.5 at Poston—but their results differ sharply. Mountain View High School pairs a 92% graduation rate with grade 11 ELA and math above state, while its science result, 17%, is below the state’s 19%. Vista Grove Preparatory Academy’s test results are suppressed, and free/reduced-lunch figures and historical proficiency results are not provided.
